Titan Property Developments has applied for planning permission to demolish the disused and dilapidated offices at 29-35 Station Road and construct 107 apartments with retail units on the first floor and ground floor.

The new proposals include 42 one-bedroom apartments, 59 two-bedroom apartments, six three-bedroom apartments, solar panels on the roof and a rooftop terrace.

The developers are also planning to create 74 bike parking spaces and small number of disabled parking bays, but no other car parking spaces.

A section of the design and access statement reads: "We believe the proposal delivers a scheme of architectural quality appropriate for its high profile location, having a close relationship with both the station and town centre views from the south."

It continues: "Due to its central locality, being in close proximity to excellent public transport links, the development doesn’t include any car parking provisions, except for disabled use.
